However, Madam Zheng still asked worriedly:

"Ran Ran, has your true appearance ever been seen by the prince?"

Qiao Ran was stunned and subconsciously reached out to touch her face, then she understood what they were thinking.

She smiled and shook her head:

"No. I never showed my true face to him."

"If that's the case, why would the prince agree to this marriage?"

General Zheng murmured.

Then his wife pinched his arm, and he realized what he had said, and said quickly:

"I'm sorry, Ranran, I'm not saying that you are not worthy of the prince. In our hearts, you are the most beautiful girl in the world."

Qiao Ran chuckled:

"Uncle, you don't have to be so cautious. I don't mind. I know what I look like, and I won't feel inferior even if I'm ugly. If someone is attracted to me or dislikes me just because of my appearance, then I look down on that kind of person. If Mo Beihan was really such a vulgar and superficial man, there wouldn't be rumors that he doesn't like women."

"Well, Ranran, as long as you have an idea."

Madam Zheng and the general were relieved, but Qiao Dajiang was still depressed.

This tender and juicy cabbage in my garden is about to be eaten by a pig!

On this side, Qiao Dajiang was secretly regretting that he had fallen into Mo Shizi's trap.

On the other side, after his grandfather went to the palace to find his great uncle, Mo Beihan also went to the palace to report to the emperor on the situation of the voyage.

Hearing that the great doctor Qiao had made great contributions to the suppression of the bandits, the emperor nodded approvingly:

"Good! Good! That girl named Qiao Ran is really good! Not only is she an excellent doctor, but she also has so many ideas. She is really a rare talent! If she were a man, I would definitely give her an official position and let her serve Dai Viet well."

When Mo Beihan heard this, he immediately climbed up the pole and fought for the interests of his beloved girl:

"Your Majesty, women can also be given titles such as county lord or princess. Even if they don't have real power, it's good to have a fiefdom!"

The emperor looked at him suspiciously:

"Hmm? Are you planning something? I heard from the Emperor that you are very close to Miss Qiao? I have never heard that you are interested in any noble lady in the capital before. People say that you are not interested in women. Why are you suddenly so interested in a girl? Could it be that you really like her?"

Mo Beihan chuckled and admitted openly:

"Uncle Emperor, to be honest, I am indeed attracted to Miss Qiao, and I have already obtained the consent of both parents and have decided to get engaged."

"Oh? So soon? What are you thinking? You are not satisfied with the many well-matched ladies in the capital, but you are attracted by a peasant girl who fled here? Although she is indeed very capable and better than many men. But her status is not worthy of you after all, and her family has no power and influence, and can't help you at all. What do you like about her?"

Mo Beihan answered honestly:

"To be honest, Uncle Emperor, I have been attracted to Miss Qiao for a long time, but I didn't realize it before. Now I understand my feelings for her."

"In my opinion, Miss Qiao is completely different from those noble ladies in Beijing. She is straightforward and kind, free and easy, and not fussy about details."

"She can distinguish between good and evil, punish evil and promote good. She is well-educated and talented. Unlike ordinary women who are willing to be trapped in the back house sewing clothes and embroidering, she studied medicine to heal the sick and save the dying."

"She is kind-hearted and intelligent. She uses her strengths to help others and to make life better for herself and those around her."

"A girl like this who has so many advantages and a unique temperament that is completely different from other girls is the kind of girl I admire. I think that living with such an interesting girl will make my life more interesting in the future."
